Great looking watch. Your QC pics look a lot better than the one on PC's website (there the small hand a 6'o clock is purple) and their chromo resets to about 4 seconds off ...
As you said the logo print is quite the give-away..... I guess V3.1 will have that fixed :)
Still tempting all in all

thanks for this. Can you take a pic of how it sits on your wrist ? (the 'float' you were mentioning)

Wow! Great vid and review, thanks!! Man, that does sit really high on your wrist--look at the gap from the bracelet to your wrist! I'm pretty impressed, i'm not too picky with this kinda stuff to have a faux feature...I can't get down with the chrono second hand running all the time (21j) that bugs me, but this is cool! I'm even thinking I'll get one in gold, too. If I can't have a 5970 rep i might as well get 2 of these.... :)

Great stuff!!

Couple questions bud.

1) You said it's a 39mm but all the specs say it's either 40.5 or 42mm. So which is it? Does the mid case make it wider? I only ask cause I bought your old Patek and it was a little too small for my liking.

2) Does the gen have running seconds? I've seen a couple videos of gens online and they all don't have running seconds. Unless they were showing reps??!!?!?!

Depends where you measure from. 40mm if you discount the things on the side of the case at 3 and 9

I'm gonna have to reconsider this now. I like the RG model that PC has but I thought the total case width was 42mm. My big wrists make all 40mm watches look stupid.
